30 Day Drawing Challenge Days 14-19

I broke this up into multiple posts even though I'm doing this all the same day.

Day 14: A Plant (Man eating)

I don't if the guy is bleeding or he's just covered in pollen which sometimes happens when you have a run in with a plant. But the redness around was necessary to make it look like he was really inside. I really love the app Sketch Club and the way it allows you to manipulate your drawing and add textures. 

Day 15: A Hover vehicle

Again with the Self Portrait. My favorite part of this is the dust that gets dispersed by this machine which basically stole from Pig Pen from the Peanuts comic strip. 

Day 16: A Paladin (Representing any religion except Christianity)

The functionality of the trunk on the helmet is clearly in question but that and the curly boots made me really fall in love with this picture. 

Day 17: A devil / demon (without lifting your pen)

Ok so I didn't technically use a pen but I didn't lift my stylus. I loved going through these on Instagram because they all looked like they belonged in a demon themed book of mazes.

Day 18: A Tank

Don't have much to say here. It just didn't look tough enough till I put it over the black background. 

Day 19: A President (As a zombie)

Ok. This is the picture that unseated The Paladin as my favorite picture of this challenge so far. He's just really into that horse head (or donkey head). 

30 Day Drawing Challenge Update Days 10-13

(Before we get into the drawings I just wanted to add a technical note that I believe I fixed the comment moderation so you should be able to leave comments should you like.)

Day 10 : Something Evolving.

So I new I wanted to do an man/ape with baby arms essentially. And I used the pictures of the Tarzan animated movie as a model for the split toes. I wasn't sure about the genitals but he clearly needed something in the middle and i wasn't about to draw him in a pair of dolphin shorts. (Not the brand, actually made of dolphin.) But my favorite part of this picture is his right baby arm is just "hangin' out" resting on his thigh like "see, I'm cool." Which is why this picture makes me smile. 

Day 11: Your favorite food (As a gift from the gods)

Picking a favorite food is impossible. But this week I found myself with a hankering for Mac & Cheese. It was the week of the hurricane threat and I was in the supermarket looking for food items that had a long shelf life. I really like the idea that it's just sitting in his hand. And really if these are the hands of a god then these noodles must be HUGE!

Day 12: A Super Hero

This gave me an idea of trying to do a 30 Day Drawing Challenge which regardless of category it has to be some kind of a self portrait. (Maybe it's the actor in me. )

Day 13: A Super Villain

Man I threw everything at this guy. Robot hand, belly eye, and magic double headed pitchfork. I started with the super hero and started modifying it into another dude. 

30 Day Drawing Challenge Days 7-9

Day 7: A historical / modern icon you admire satirized using the reason you admire them most. (eg. Carl Sagan as a mad scientist)

This one was a tough one. The high concept was hard to figure out. Eventually I settled on Shakespeare as a coffee shop screenwriter.

Day 8: Close eyes. Draw a Batman

This was a blast. I kept doing it over and over. I discovered that with Sketch Club wasn't the best choice for this challenge because whenever my stylus would linger too long it would change the color I was drawing in to the white of the blank page. So I switched to Sketch Time (bottom two) of course this time I accidentally increased the size of my line when I got too close to the bottom of the screen.

9. A dinosaur, real or made up

"Made up" really gets your imagination going. So I thought, "what if ankylosaurus had his head on the opposite side of his body, with eyes on his 'club' end?" And this is how it turned out.

30 Day Drawing Challenge Days 3-6

Day 3: A monster (Evil)

Actually although he may seem evil he's actually saving that guy from an oil spill.

Day 4: A small inanimate object coming to life.

Surprisingly the biggest challenge of this picture was coming up with a fictitious name brand for this toothpaste. I like how a moment before, the fists came busting out of the tube.

Day 5: A president (as an action hero)

It's Eisenhower. (Don't know if it's obvious.)
I wanted him to be in the pose that Eddie has in the "Trooper" picture. (Yes, I forgot the sword.)

And as a bonus here is the alternate outfit:

Day 6: A hybrid animal

I call it cruck. And I think he's adorable

30 Day Drawing Challenge Days 1 & 2

(Ok. I think I fixed the comment issue on the blog.)

Kicking it off with Day 1: Self Portrait

This pic felt very "Sumo" so I added the rising sun and hair chopsticks.

Day 2: A Monster (Good)

And I liked the Roman Slug idea but I think I went overboard with the pink and purple tank and skirt to make him seem more "good." But I knew I had to give him clothes because I didn't want to give him a johnson.
